HT 0-0. France 9(2)-(1)4 shots(sog), 5-3 corners, 2-0 offsides, 3-3 fouls, 14-33 clearances(!), 53% possession, 75% (125/167) - (137/193) 71% passing. So even! Norway are doing more defending (because France launch many crosses), but they get forward aggressively.
By wearing the #11 jersey, Diani is destined for Romario-like greatness. However, the good sis needs to pass more and chill will those long rang shots. Surprised to see Norway with the majority of possession at 53%.
Majri was left alone and free to deliver a perfect cross. The marking in the box was all over the place. France came back on the pitch well concentrated, Norway were still in the tunnel. 1-0, let's see what Norway can make out of that, now.
The crowd volume is impressive. Makes me think the noise at any USA-France game would rival plutonium rock band Disaster Area.
46' 1-0 Le Sommer at circle top, to Henry at arc top left, to Majri at 9m wide left. Fast cross over Thiney + 1 at 3-left, drops at 7m 1/4 left. Gauvin reaches left foot across Mjelde's front, volleys low past Mjelde's feet, under Hjelmseth's left hand into center back low. Norway ceded space too cheaply there (credit France for daring to send Majri that high), and Gauvin won one positioning duel.

Renard scores again.... but in the wrong goal!!! And I have kept her starting in my fantasy team! Norway's action had been quite good, but it had basically amounted to no real danger, until that awkward Renard's touch in her own goal! Well, we have a game, again!
53' 1-0 Henry give-and-go off Majri's backheel through box top left to 10m wide left. Cross to 4m 3-right, Gauvin jumps leaning back and heads wide right. 54' 1-1 Graham Hansen receives at 25m arc left, snipes through box top mid-left for Herlovsen chasing, to 8m mid-left. Left foot shot on the run is rolling wide right low toward 3m right post. Renard, under no pressure, follows ball and watches it -- then sticks foot out and kicks it into own back right low Pressure does incroyable things. 1138903181675696128 is not a valid tweet id That’s a great finish! #FRANOR pic.twitter.com/kks52bOiaD— john moynihan NSI (@jmoynihan_NSI) June 12, 2019 This guy's comment 1138901957610016769 is not a valid tweet id
56' 1-1 Yellow card on Le Sommer. 57' 1-1 Thiney passes through arc tangent left, #_ and Thorisdottir entangle and both faceplant into box. Ball sits free at arc tangent right, Gauvin arrives and shoots one-touch left instep to 1/3 right, directly to Hjelmseth. Stoppage, trainers help Thorisdottir limp into touch.
